"Please spread the word!!" read a follow-up post on the Gibson's Twitter account. "Getting on the roof at Gibson's is NOT ok (it is trespassing)!!"

The tweet explains that the roof of the Gibson's building at 760 Mt. Moriah is 50 years old, and anyone on it could fall and be injured seriously. Plus, horrors, Gibson's might have to shut down temporarily.

"Not only could you fall and get seriously hurt but you could also cause roof leaks which could potentially shut us down for a day!!" the tweet warns.

Please spread the word!! Getting on the roof at Gibson’s is NOT ok(it is trespassing)!! Our roof is 50 years old!! Not only could you fall and get seriously hurt but you could also cause roof leaks which could potentially shut us down for a day!!

"Due to the fact that not everyone remembers the definition of trespassing, we had to remove the adorable pictures from yesterday," the post reads. "Please remember those pictures were staged and approved.

"In the meantime, let's play a game ... Who has some baby donut pictures?"

Gibson's is as well known among local eateries as any of the city's familiar barbecue names. It recently was named one of the 31 Best Donut Shops in the country by Thrillist, along with Fox's Donut Den in Nashville.
